A paternity claim by a 72-year-old woman claiming to be the daughter of late Argentine strongman Juan Peron hit a new bump Tuesday with revelations that a privately commissioned DNA test found no relation.

Martha Holgado has maintained for years through the courts that she is the product of a brief affair between Peron and her mother. The third wife of former President Peron, Maria Estela Martinez de Peron, commissioned the DNA test on a sample of Peron's bones after insisting the late caudillo was childless.
